lets say i make them 720p when i rip them (in anime there is mostly no detail lose when going from the bd to hd) , and use HEVC format , constant bitrate.
here is a big file i made for the sake of "preserving the detail" and testing.

could the 20-30 min ep be made into 100-150 mb HEVC file and look almost identical?

since its anime , lose of detail is a bit different from movies.

Iíve been editing documentaries and fiction for years, but Iíve never done those kind of videos before. I am at a new place(new country for a new start :)) ), doing some test videos as a part of a job interview and I have no idea if Iím doing all right or too slowÖ I have the feeling that it takes me too long :(

Iíll be grateful for any kind of info! I can link the videos, but Iím not sure if it is allowed..

Regards!

I am a musician with a very nice audio studio for music production. I want to start learning how to make my own videos to promote my music. Nothing too elaborate, just a starter approach. I want to do close-ups, some time effects like slo-mo and fast motion. I want to do some cool camera movement and get as good results as I can get with decent entry level gear and learning. If video is anything like audio, the gear is 10% of the end product and the techniques used are 90%, so I'm more interested in learning technique than collecting the coolest gear available.

I already have a MacBook Pro with i7 quad core processor, 16G RAM and a 1TB HD.

This gives me a little wiggle room, budget wise. Am I missing anything important? Are these components relatively comparable in their semi-pro to entry level range?

I may try greenscreen later on, but thought I need to learn more about lighting first. I may get a Rode shotgun mic, but most of my audio will be pre-recorded and lip synced.

Thanks in Advance for your input.

Thu, 21 Feb 2019 08:26:32 GMTI've recently come across this site and thought it might be able to solve my problem.
The downloaded TV programs that I watch on my Sony Bravia - stored on a hard drive connected via USB - are usually in MKV format. On occasions the programs - which play fine on my PC - have no sound when played on the TV. I can usually get over this by converting the MKV file to MKV via Format Factory or by converting to MP4 via either Vidcoder or Handbrake.
Very occasionally I have a program that, whatever I do I cannot get to play with sound.
Can anyone tell me why this might be so and whether there is an easy, guaranteed method of fixing the problem.

A case in point:

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 09:15:36 GMTHi everyone. I'm new to this site I've had a Panasonic EH-69 for about 8 years. I am trying to record music from my laptop. My laptop has a HDMI port but as you know the input to the EH-69 is cable. I purchased a converter China no name. plugs into power source and has a remote mode and source option. I've tried everything but it doesn't work. Does anyone know if the HDMI to Coaxial cable, cable work? Or what kind of converter will work without spending hundreds of dollars. Thanks in advance.

Mon, 18 Feb 2019 13:08:16 GMTHello guys!

I would like to know if there's a way to use the 64bit plugins from avisynth inside vapoursynth script with the "avsw.Eval" function.

I know that it is possible to directly open 64bit plugins in VS using the "LoadPlugin" function, however, problems mainly occur with deinterlace filters using this method, problems that don't happen using "Eval".

The over-riding advantage is the ability to stop a video when I wish, to resume later - and turning anything/everything off does not prevent me continuing where I left off. That single great advantage motivates me to want to convert movie FILES on a USB stick to magnetic recordings on VHS cassettes. Are there digital TVs which will read USB sticks, but have video out that I could feed into a VCR recorder ?

Sun, 17 Feb 2019 15:07:06 GMTHello

I have many original DVDs Best of music collections ...
I'd like to split these into separate track files in order to remove tracks I don't like so much.
I used MakeMKV to create mkv copy of DVD but how could I split this mkv with track marks into separate track files?

Is there any dedicated software to save DVD into separate tracks?

I wouldn't use Avidemux for this task as its a lot of handwork and too much time.

Sat, 16 Feb 2019 16:39:10 GMTI'm interested in the live gamer 4k PCI-E card so I can play in 4K HDR but stream in 1080p. I just wanted to know will the card fit on my motherboard? I have attached two images where the card can possibly slot into. Please advise whether it will fit if I remove the card between my 2 graphics cards. Or if it can fit in the first image slot? I have highlighted the areas in the images.

Thanks! also if I posted this thread in the wrong area I do apologize. As I know this is the new members area hence why I posted the thread under this forum :D

i have this problem ..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr9WblarSdc&list=UUYBNxZuD-2RfLav7h-U3pPg

im trying to output RGBs from a fairlight cvi into a framemeister and capture it with a PC. Fairlight RGBs > Framemeister > Gamecaptur > pc
when the fairlight is working standalone (with no external video going in to it) it works great and i can capture beautiful crisp footage from the Fairlight but when i feed the fairlight with any external video (from VCR or PC) the output footage jumps all around as it has some sync problems (i assume)
now the problem is not with the fairlight because when i output the fairlight RGBs to a CRT monitor everything works great
also when i output a composite video from the fairlight into the framemeister all is good but i want to use the RGB as it looks much better!

i attached the FairlightCVI specs if it helps in any way
im trying to find a solution for this problem for a few years now with no success:( .. any help would be much appreciated
thank you[Attachment 48102 - Click to enlarge]
